The appliance brands reliability is very important for every household, most people depend on refrigerators and ranges on daily basis, some people depend on even more appliances from microwaves, dishwashers, washers, dryers, garbage disposals etc. And you don’t want to spend a fortune on the appliance and then after a year or so when the warranty will be expired spend more money on costly repairs. According to our books in 2019 year, on average repairs on appliance cost about $236 for customers and it doesn’t count high end appliances such as Sub Zero, Viking, Dacor, Miele, Five Star, and few more which repairs much costly.
The time when appliance has been last for 20-40 years is almost gone, nowadays appliances are last without any breakdowns for 5-7 years, the lifetime of appliance can be shorter than that depending on the brand. We would like to share our list of most reliable and least serviced brands based on experience of our technician in Atlanta area, again result can be different in your area, we didn’t do any test performance or anything like that, the list created on experience of our techs and service request received from our customers.
Most Reliable and Least Serviced Appliance Brands in 2019:
Most Reliable and Least Serviced Appliance Brands in 2019:1. Whirlpool Brands is leading this list with the most reliable appliances, most of their appliances are last at least 6-8 years until first breakdown and the cost of repair is much lower
2. Maytag and Kitchen Aid brand is taken our second place, especially more reliable was laundry units from Maytag and Kitchen Aid ovens
3. GE and its brands as Hotpoint are getting 3rd place, company still sells a tremendous quantity of appliances but since Haier corporation purchased them the quality of the product is going down every year, hopefully they will improve quality of parts and return reliability for this brand.
4. Samsung and LG would be on the last place of our list, but it seems like the quality is getting a but better in comparing a few last years, but also you have to take in consideration the quality of the units they sell per year, We feel like the number one appliance that sells in 2019 is Samsung brand because of their aggressive marketing campaign and very deep discounts on the appliances. Because so many of Samsung and LG appliances on the market we have received the most service requests for these two brands and most of appliances were only 3-5 years old.
Most Reliable Type of Appliances in our opinion and from our experience:
Microwaves works for long time and very rare breakdown and if they do- most of time it is a magnetron issue, no heat.
Range Hoods and Ranges, if you clean well the range, it would work for long time, especially gas ranges or stoves. Range Hood least breakdown appliance because it is primarily only blowing the air, there is not that many components inside the unit.
Then, we can place all other appliance, depending on your brand, make, model, maintenance etc your experience can be different with your appliance and brands. Again, this article is based on our technician experience and service requests that we receive in Atlanta GA.
A few tips about appliance brands:
You can not get a more reliable machine by paying more for it, expect few cases. In fact, it is usually the opposite. The more expensive units have hundreds of electronics components: sensors, control units, fuses etc. If one of those components fail, it is required a new part, a new controls – Repair cost would be at least $280-380. If you can find one, get a fridge without a control boards but noways it is almost impossible. Also you need to do regular maintenance to your appliance to extend the life of it.
